The Staunton Earl Grey Black Tea Caddy 125g

A tribute to George Staunton, the man who introduced the western world to this Chinese manner of taking black tea. One of The Company’s most popular blends, The Staunton Earl Grey has a vibrant and refreshing flavour. Savour a cup of this rich-bodied loose leaf black tea with our Sea & Salt Caramel Biscuits.

Or for those who enjoy a delectable combination of all things orange, bring together the elegant aromatic flavours of Neroli and Bergamot in our signature Earl Grey Tea with the citrusy, sweet notes of our Seville Orange Marmalade biscuits. Both lusciously fragrant, one would simply not be same without the other.

Details-

The true origins of Earl Grey tea remained a mystery until recent research in The East India Company archives revealed that the use of orange flavouring with tea was first observed in China in 1793 by Sir George Staunton, a company botanist. He witnessed the Chinese scenting their teas with bitter orange blossoms called Neroli.

Bergamot, commonly used in most Earl Grey tea today, is a subspecies of Citrus Aurentium, or ‘Neroli’, the original flower used in China. Sir Joseph Banks, to whome Staunton reported his findings, experimented with various flavourings, and thus the recipe was devised long before Earl Grey heard of it from Sir Banks, his friend.

Today, we use the original blossom, Neroli, together with Bergamot to create our Staunton Earl Grey, the only blend which can truly be said to authentically contain the original Chinese recipe. The Staunton Earl Grey is a tribute to the man who enabled the western world to experience this fine tea.
